Their forced luna

Chapter 94

Jesse

Our pretty little Luna shivered beneath my every caress. The more I touched her, the more the warmth

of Raul reflected in her touch. "It's your choice."

She swallowed and looked away from me.

The knife that twisted in my guts would normally be enough to take my breath away, but I wanted to

hide it from her. After everything that she had gone through with Aren, I wanted to be able to give her at

least one choice. Funny, normally I'd be the one that pressed things but I couldn't find it in myself to do

it. Every second that dragged on made the wounds inside me widen.

Hell hounds rarely took mates for just this reason. We were a species created for service. This was our

punishment for daring to step up from our position. We were meant to always serve, never to care.

Hell hounds were shit at actually listening to what we were supposed to do. Even if this ripped me apart

in time, I wouldn't force her to accept me.

"Yes," she whispered so soft the wind almost stole the words from her lips.

What? I blinked. I had been ready to accept this pain as a punishment for everything I had done in my

life. "What?"

Slowly, Amanda turned to look at me. Her eyes searched mine. "I won't let any of you hurt because of

me."

I chuckled beneath my breath. What was with this woman? I pointed over at the watching Raul with my

thumb. "We're hurting because of him, not you."

She shook her head and lightly touched her forehead. "He did it to stop this, right? I got this because-"

I had been patient, but she had already told me to go ahead. I stepped forward and pulled her into my

arms and against my chest. Her softness and sweet chocolate scent was enticing. It woke my beast

and made me want to toss her to the ground and take her in the snow.

Raul growled at me and gave me the look.

Damn. I was letting my beast take control. If I didn't reel it back Raul was going to jump my ass. I held a

hand up toward him until the darkness left his eyes. I hadn't even noticed his fire springing to life

around him.

No wonder I couldn't control myself. He'd fallen for her, and his feelings were overlaying mine.

"Jesse?"

I could get used to that. Her soft husky voice saying my name. What would our poor Prime do when he

sensed what was going on? By this point poor Tyler had to have been suffering though not to the same

extent I was. "Yes?"

"I'm ready," she breathed the words and her eyes fluttered closed.

I didn't waste anymore time. I tilted her head to the side and kissed her smooth throat before kissing

her right earlobe. Poor Tyler would be left finding his own spot to claim her if he decided to try to

escape his own pain. My hound surged to the surface, my fangs expanding my mouth and I gently took

her earlobe between my teeth before biting just hard enough to leave my own mark.

Amanda's eyes widened as my power funneled into her. She swayed and I wrapped my arm around

her shoulders before she could fall. The mate bonds she had with the others pressed against my mind.

The one with Zale was the strongest, for now. His wolf stalked on that side, golden eyes full of malice

stuck on us. If his wolf was this hostile, it wouldn't be as easy as he claimed for him to accept us as

he'd once stated.

Her wolf came forward, touching noses with me and wagging her tail slowly before licking him. My

beast purred like a damned cat, not that I minded. The acceptance did wonders for us.

"What is this?" Amanda whispered. She stared at me.

I gave her a crooked smile and brushed her bangs out of her eyes. Had she always been so beautiful? Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

She was the first light after a long stormy night. The first spring flower that battled its way through the

snow and bared its delicate head. "This is the power of having the hounds as mates."

"Did you guys really have to do this?" Tyler groaned as he walked into view followed by Zale.

The aura of my Prime made me take a step between him and my Luna. "Yes," I replied coolly. "That

bastard was doing everything he could to make her suffer. With Raul's power, we can at least drain his

effects on her so she's not suffering."

Tyler leaned against a tree for support and ran a hand through his hair. "Still," he groaned. "That's not

something you should have done without talking to us," he snarled. "And both of you did it," his words

came out cracked and broken. "Bastards."

Amanda moved me to the side and walked past me. She didn't go to Zale, but instead she went to my

suffering pack member and put her hands on either side of his face, forcing him to look into her eyes.

"Tyler," her whisper did the same thing it had done to me. I could see him lean forward to listen. "Just

like the other hounds, I accept you."

"Amanda," Zale whispered her name too but there was a difference in the way she whispered.

She barely glanced his way. "Claim me. I know what denying yourself will do to you."

Tyler shuddered. "Prime?" he questioned.

Zale grunted. "Fine, do whatever. I already gave permission earlier, I just didn't expect you to carry it

out so quickly."

Raul bowed before Zale. "I had no choice, Prime. It was to protect her."

Zale nodded, but his eyes were locked on Tyler. The hound kissed the mark that made her suffer so

much before traveling behind her and kissing the spot between her shoulder blades before letting his

hound's self come forward and claim her as ours and complete the circle.

And just like that, our protection of this amount was cemented. We would die protecting her if we had

to. She'd become even more precious, more important than our very Prime.
